Q1) Consider the non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor shown in figure (1) in which an irreversible exothermic reaction AB takes place. The heat of the reaction is removed by a coolant that flows through a jacket around the reactor. F, CAT Reactant - F., T. Fc, T. Fo, , Coolant Product Figure (1) 1. What are the possible control objectives for this process? 2. What are the controlled variables of the process? 3. What are the disturbances? 4. What are the manipulated variables? Note : F is the coolant volumetric flow rate, T. is the coolant temperature Concentration is written in terms of reactant A or product B but not both Coolant volumetric flow rate doesn't change between the inlet and the outlet . Solution
